Project Details
Every month I have challenged myself to “drop” 3 creative social posts with three small but strict requirements:
1. I must post on the first of every month
2. The first post is a typographic play on the month
3. The chosen color of the month must be used in each post
This challenge has allowed me to be creative outside of the 9-5 and combine more than just digital art into my work as I have used mixed media for various “drops”.
SEPTEMBER
September is a month of passion and excitement as it also happens to be birthday month which is why I chose this deep gutty red!
The posts below include a new spin on a favorite wine of mine (diving into the red theme) and playing with the camp theme. For my third post I found one of my favorite images of my grandmother with her friends and I knew I had to do something with these cheeky lassies. I decided to turn it into an HOUSE party DJ set invitation - because why not?
AUGUST
For the month of August I chose to create a fun balloon shape for the month using illustrator’s bevel effect.
For my next post I created a cowboy logo for a local Mexican restaurant using a linocut and then photoshopping the final piece and mocking it up into the restaurant walls.
For my third and final post I created new branding for the popular coffee brand “costa” along with a small menu.
JULY
On the next social post I wanted to create some merch for one of my favorite local restaurants “Red Hook Tavern”
JUNE
I went with the theme of summer in pink for this month’s challenge. New York summers are hot and sticky which was all the inspiration I needed for my June Girl.
The next post was inspired by a friend’s recent song release. I asked if I could design his future Album cover and went with a brutalist style.
The next piece was inspired by recent events and I felt like it was time for visual infographic on plane etiquette with a satirical twist.
